Lakey,
You're a master at invention and dub-in . . . . .
Please leave me out of your efforts to be right . . . .
You have no idea whatsoever as to what the "negotiations" were between the folks who invited me and myself. And you have no idea as to what any "agreements" were as regards what or how I could present.
Just knock off the dub-in and interpretations . . . . .
Don't you get it? You wear your friends out when you keep chirping away
about them . . . and your
interpretations of what they say and do.
Take a look at the point that the folks you do this to/with are actually discussing a SUBJECT . . . you too often don't, but instead start chirping away on and about your interpretations of what you think they've said/done. I't YOUR think, your thing, you keep going on about, superimposed on the simple actuality.
Sometimes there is limited info in a post or area addressed, but that's the actuality . . . no sense in dubbing in something to fit your want or think.
Take a look at the
subjects we address and contribute to
that.
If I were to attempt to answer or respond to all the stuff you dub-in, I'd have no time for anything else.
Take a look at how Face and Toady responded to getting worn down and out by your constant interpretive skills . . . . .
Rog
Rog, my goal is to get to the truth of this thing. My reputation and credibility are on the line. I did leave you out! I decided that I had no business writing about you or putting words in your mouth so I wrote in the general case. What you quoted of mine does not mention your name. I refer to a well known speaker speaking before an Association with all my comments applying to a fictitious and general case.
I admit that your participation in speaking at the FZ Convention is the model or impetus behind what I wrote but neverthelss, I specifically wrote my comments for a generalized situation. This is so true that as more was revealed to me, I had to make a retraction. At the 2009 FZ convention, I found out that your videos were edited by their owner before they were presented to the public. Once I found that out, my comments above did not apply because Aida Thomas, AKA Diana Class 8, who headed the event did not have the right to edit the tapes. Once I found this out about 2:00 AM this morning, I was done.
I made a lot of speculations, many of which were incorrect, but doing so, I finally got all the pieces put together. I purposely did not talk about you or mention your name and dealt in only a 3rd person general case. I eventually got to a point where I now have a full conceptual understanding of all that happened. My general example failed to hold up in the 2009 FZ situation. I retracted it and trying to move on.
This whole area was explored only because I made the statement that you were a bit more moderate than Toady and his associates when it comes to the area of Scientology tech and LRH. You strongly repudiated this statement and yet I know it is true for me because I have had numerous dialogues over long periods with both of you and I perceive a significant difference. You definitely treat me, and others who still feel that Hubbard and his tech have some good points, better than Toady and his associates treat us. That is my reality. I realize that you may not agree.
Are you suggesting to me that I don't have the right to have my own personal reality in something involving you, if you and I do not agree? Are you also suggesting that I can not discuss a fictitious situation between a speaker and an Association in the 3rd person where your name is not brought up?
What about my free speech rights? I have done nothing but complimented you and the FZ Convention and Aida Thomas aka Diana Class 8. You all acted in an exemplary manner and all created great products and helped a lot of people. I have said all along that none of you did anything the least bit incorrect or offensive.
I am just fighting for my right to believe that you are a little more moderate than Toady and company when it comes to LRH and his tech. You both have a tremendous amount that you don't like about LRH and his tech as do I. I just think you are a little more moderate in that regard than Toady & company.
Because I believe that and you feel otherwise, I have been attacked unmercifully from all sides. Isn't there room on ESMB for someone to believe a little differently than many other people on one relatively minor topic? I don't challenge your belief that you and Toady are both in the same exact category on the Hubbard issue. I respect that you believe what you do. I believe very close to what you believe but I feel you're a bit more moderate. What is the big deal? Why can't I have a slightly different belief than you on this one point?
Can you please grant me the right to believe nearly the same as you do instead of totally the same on this one small point? I really do not get it?
This exact issue is what prompted all the fighting on the Sharone thread. In my opinion, based on 5 weeks of exchanges over there, Toady & company insist on complete agreement. If they don't get it, they perceive one as a bad guy and try and dead agent him.
